UHart Student Arrested On Drug Charges

HARTFORD — A University of Hartford student was arrested Sunday after police found evidence of a marijuana-selling operation in his dorm room, police said.

Forrest Lennhoff, 18, of North Andover, Mass., was charged with operating a drug factory, possession of more than 4 ounces of marijuana, possession with intent to sell and possession of drug paraphernalia. He posted $20,000 bail.

According to the police report, a public safety officer responding to a noise complaint smelled the strong odor of marijuana in a residence hall at 200 Bloomfield Ave. He contacted police and they went to the room where the smell appeared to be coming from, room 202, the report said.

They found Lennhoff there, who admitted he had marijuana. Police also found a safe, a scale, a grinder, pipes and plastic bags.

Lennhoff refused to open the safe for police, but said it contained $3,000 to $4,000. He told them the money was from his summer job on a farm, police said.
